THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATU RE.
ASSEMBLED IN EXTRA SESSION
GOV. LEES MESSAGE on THE
FINANCES.

RICHMOND, VA, March 16.-
Pursuant to the Governors call,
the General Assembly of Virginia
met here today ut noon in extra
session. Both houses promptly or.
gained, and a JOINT committee
was appointed to notify the Gov.
ernOr that the legislature was really
for business. Soon thereafter a
message from the executive was
received and read. The Governor
first calls the attention to the con.
dition of the public debt, and de.
votes the greater portion of the
message to reviewing the action
taken in past years for the settle
ment OF the debt question. He rec
ommends the appointment of a
commission on the part of the state
to meet a similar commission on the
part Of the DOndhOlders IN Virgin
ia or elsewhere, the duties of said
commission to DO distinctly defined,
the object being true .presenta'
ton of the revenue and resources
Of the state can do. He urges i'm
mediate action on the report of the
revisers of the code, which was
submitted to-day. He also suggests
a law which he thinks will cover
the situation brought about
by the recent decision of the Unit.
ed States Supreme Court on the
sample merchants or drummers'
tax. lie concludes with the hope
that the legislature will be equal to
the requirements of the occasion.
One of the first bills introduced
in the House of Delegates to-day
was by Mr.. Fulkerso"i OF Wash
ington, to repeal the local option
law passed February, 1886.

P[uphesled bis Hour Of Death.

Richard johnson died suddenly
at A o'clock Sunday morning at his
home in Newburg, n. Y. He
awoke his daughter, Mrs. Bradner,
the only occupant Of the house,
and, telling her thai he was dying,
asked her to bring him two checks
which he desired to sign. Mrs.
Bradner, alarmed at what he had
said, desired to awaken some
neighbors, but Mr.. Johnson told
her to do as he requested, adding
"YOu have no time to waste.

When all is over bring the neigh

In vain did his daughter expostu
late, but the dying man was firm,
The checks were brought. He took
a pen in his hand and signed the
first check as distinctly as ever he
signed any document. The second
one was signed in a manner that
showed his gtrength was failing
and when he had completed tbs
task, he sank back and died. Mr.
Johnson was over seventy, and had
never experienced a sick day. Hi'
death was caused by heart disease

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has issued the following gen.
eral notice for the information of
the officers, employees, and patrons
of all roads controlled and operated
by it: "The Interstate Commerce
bill, which takes effect on April B,
1887, makes it necessary to give
notice to all shippers Of all classes
of property and to connections that
tariffs and special rates now in eff.
feet will be withdrawn on or before
that date, and new tariffs made in
accordance with the requirements
of that law will be issued, to take
effect on or previous thereto. No
tice is accordingly given that all
existing contracts, tariff rates, and
special rates for the transportation
of all classes OF freight oyer the
roads of these companies, leased
lines, and branches, which by their
terms do not sooner end, will cease
and terminate April 4, 1887. You
are requested to acknowledge re-
ceipt of this notice. Your failure
to do so, however, will not have
the effect of continuing such con
tracts, tariff rates, or special rates
beyond April 4, 1887"

UNGER'S AWFUL DREAMS.
THEY TERRIFY HIS SLEEP WITH
VIEWS OF THE MURDER.
ED BOHLE.

Edward Unger, who was sent to
Sing Si0g for life for the murder of
August Bohle, is now in the hos
pital of the prison, sufferer from
nervous prOstratiOn. His physical
strength before his trial was great,
and his Stcadiness of nerve in court
was surprising; but his stamina is
all gone, and he has become a mis-.
cradle covering wreck. On the
first morning in the prison he told
keeper that he had been visited
during the night by his dismem-
bered victim, who had proceeded
to reconstruct himself in the terri.
fed prisoners presence. or this
dream he could not be disabused,
He seemed to believe it was reality.
Every night it came to him, and at
the end of a week he was much
broken down. In the hospital it
has been the same with him except
when he is kept very sOundly asleep
narcotic influence. He dreams
that the mangled pieces Of his friend
are strewn about the room, where
they lie a while lnanimately, as they
did before he packed the body in
the trunk and threw the head into
the river. Then the fragments be-
Gin to culver. Soon they move slow
" toward each other, until they are
in a heap. Next, they adjust them
selves into human form. But the
head is missing. At length that,
too, comes into the room, with its
hair dripping with the water of the
river IN which it has lain. With a
horrible smile on its face, 1t places
itself on the shoulders of the figure,
and menaces the murderer. UngeI
shrieks out at this point, and the
apparitiOn vanishes from his imag-
nation. All efforts have failed to
relieve him of these visions, and
the prison physician advises his re-
moval to the state asylum tor luna
tic criminals.

CRASHED THROUGH A BRIDGE.
MASSACHUSETTS, ADDS ANOTHER
TO THE LIST OF HORRIBLE
RAILROAD DISASTERS
THIRTY-THREE
DEAD

BOsTON, March little most
horrible railroad accident that has
occurred in the vicinity of Boston
since the holocaust at ReVeres hap
pened this morning in the West
Roxbury district. The Z \. VI.
train OH the Boston and Providence
railroad crashed through a high
way bridge over South street, be-
tween Forest Hills and Roslindale
stations, the accident resulting, so
far as learned at present, in the
death of thirty-threc persons and
the injury, in many cases vcrT Sc
riOusly, Of forty more. Most Of the
injuredIaTe said TO be women. The
crash of the falling bridge ana cars
was heard for some distance, and
the inhabitants ilOcked to the scene.
The fire department was also on
the scene almost Immediately aud
prevented the browning horror Of
cremation. Doctors and ambu-
lances were sent for in every dlrec-
ton, and many soon arrived. Their
services were put into execution at
once, as the dead and wounded
were taken ont. Most Of the dead
and those injured who were able to
be moved were sent 20 ROslindalc
or Dedham. The train wasin charge
of Conductor Tilden, who met ter
rible death. He was found on the
bank with one leg literally corn of,
his abdomen separated and the bow
els protruding. He was also other
wise badly mangled. He died few
minutes after being found. \
mounted policeman IS also report
ed killed.
Boston, March bit is now
known that ia persons we're IN
jured in the railroad accident yes
terday. This does not include those
killed.
The wreck is a more appalling
sight than the recent ruins at
White River Junction and Deer
field, and tins points strongly TO
the fact that the train was running
at speed Of fully twenty-five miles
an hour. The forward cars, which
lie on the embankment ana liz the
roadway, remain in the same posi-
ton as when they fell. There were
undoubtedly nine cars in the train,
as the tin tops OF nine are to be
found, but the remains Of two Of
the cars are in such a state of de.
molitiOn that it is impossible to
discern whether there are two cars
or one. This was caused by the
tall down the cmbankment, and,
consequently. the rumor has pre-
vailed that there were but eight
cars i'm the tram.

the Sta of Virginia and special
superintendent of the Universe
He says Mr.. Cleveland has made
ga fatal mistake' in refusing to
sign the River and Harbor bill,
which gave James River one hun.
dred thousand dollars. He charg'
es him of being guilty of "a polit-

"veto it in an open, manly way"
He thinks Mr.. Cleveland cannot
get the vote of Virginia for re-nOm

nominated he would be beaten in
Virginia. He considers him New
